303 - Is it true that you love Bon Jovi?*
Babak - Love is nothing more than a four letter word - I admire any Artist that can do what they do, whether music photography or whatever despite all the bullshit, scams and disappointments. Someone said you get good at what you doing after 10,000 hours of doing it and i don't think a lot of people have the drive to do any thing that much .
3030 Tell us about your obsession with aeroplanes and are you a member of the mile high club? Babak - Airplanes like models always hang around runways and the mile high thing is so overrated!
303-Describe the moment you know that the photo you are taking is magical?
Babak - Sometimes it is right at the point of shutter release and sometimes it is years away in the future , every photo has a different time that it becomes magical.
303 - When did you start doing your infamous “jumpshots” (pictures of yourself jumping)
Babak - First one was a self portrait a light test on Polaroid back in 1996-ish ! I know - But they are fun, i like to do then with one other person and for me its like getting my self synchronized with the other person .
303 - How would you describe your style as a photographer?
Babak- i always say " i like to shoot people up in the right key"

Tilloloy
Tilloloy is a commune in the Somme département in Hauts-de-France in northern France. The village is situated in the east of the department, 29 miles (47 km) southeast of Amiens. The border with the Oise department is less than 1 mile (2 km).
The population of Tilloloy was 353 in 1917.
Blaise Cendrars recounts in "La Main Coupée" that the Foreign Legion squad he commanded in 1916 rested up in Tilloloy.
Notre-Dame de Lorette was the subject of a painting by artist Maurice Denis. It was rebuilt after the Great War.
The seventeenth-century Château of Tilloloy, which was extensively damaged in the Great War, was subsequently restored.
A Poem About the Battle of the Somme
'It was 1916 on the 1st of July
That artillery and smoke blackened the sky.
Shots rang out and men fell dead,
The sky was black, while the ground was red.
To battle the Germans the French and British had come,
To the bloodiest fight of the War, The Battle of the Somme.
While artillery rained down on the German side
The allies swallowed their fear and stood with pride.
Waiting to be ordered over the top,
To run without question, don’t look back and don’t stop.
But this is when the slaughter started,
Machine guns screamed out as bodies and limbs became parted.
Fifty-eight thousand casualties in one single day
‘A necessary loss’ the Generals would say.
‘We will rest for now and recommence tomorrow
No time for the men to indulge in their sorrow’
So they readied the next batch of men for the slaughter,
Would they fare better when faced with the mortars?
The answer to this question was obviously no
As the casualty counts continued to grow.
For every single centimetre of ground that was taken
The lives of two men were sadly forsaken.
And so the battle waged on and on,
The bloodiest battle of World War One.
Yet as they made progress towards German lines,
The allies had one thing in the front of their minds.
For the Germans had a weapon the allies had yet to discover
One that would find men even if they took cover.
As the allied assault drew nearer and nearer
The time to use this weapon had never been clearer.
The little grey canisters flew through the air
Giving the allied forces more than a scare.
The men now engaged in a fight for their lives,
They could not protect themselves with their guns or their knives.
Their only weapon now was a mask
But fitting it in time was a very hard task.
‘Gas, Gas!’ some men would cry
Most had masks, the rest would die.
Their screams could be heard as they approached their death,
Blood curdled in their lungs as they drew their last breath.
Eventually their eyes would roll back in their head
And with a final twitch and spasm they lay still, dead.
And so the battle waged on and on,
The bloodiest battle of World War One.
Even with the threat of the German gas,
It was time for a final allied assault to mass.
And with this Britain unveiled their tank
When the battle ended they had this to thank.
It stormed over No-Man’s Land, through German wire,
The Germans shook in fear as it prepared to fire.
For the British troops it opened the way,
For the deaths of their comrades the Germans would pay.
And the German death count grew and grew
As the allied assault continued to break through.
And though the fighting had not ended,
The morale of the allies began to get mended.
They pushed with valor towards their objective,
With a new vigour the Germans had not expected.
Although the enemy held, and did not retreat
This battle is viewed as a German defeat.
It was 1916 on the 21st of November
That the five month long battle was finally over.
No shots rang out but thousands were dead,
The sky was still black, the ground was stained red.
To battle the Germans the French and British had come,
To the bloodiest fight of the War, The Battle of the Somme'.
The Use of Artillery in the Great War
Artillery was very heavily used by both sides during the Great War. The British fired over 170 million artillery rounds of all types, weighing more than 5 million tons - that's an average of around 70 pounds (32 kilos) per shell.
If the 170m rounds were on average two feet long, and if they were laid end to end, they would stretch for 64,394 miles (103,632 kilometres); the line would go round the equator over two and a half times. If the artillery of the Central Powers of Germany and its allies is factored in, the figure can be doubled to 5 encirclements of the planet.
During the first two weeks of the Third Battle of Ypres, over 4 million rounds were fired at a cost of over £22,000,000 - a huge sum of money, especially over a century ago.
Artillery was the killer and maimer of the war of attrition.
According to Dennis Winter's book 'Death's Men' three quarters of battle casualties were caused by artillery rounds. According to John Keegan ('The Face of Battle') casualties were:
- Bayonets - less than 1%
- Bullets - 30%
- Artillery and Bombs - 70%
Keegan suggests however that the ratio changed during advances, when massed men walking line-abreast with little protection across no-man's land were no match for for rifles and fortified machine gun emplacements.
Many artillery shells fired during the Great War failed to explode. Drake Goodman provides the following information on Flickr:
"During World War I, an estimated one tonne of explosives was fired for every square metre of territory on the Western front. As many as one in every three shells fired did not detonate. In the Ypres Salient alone, an estimated 300 million projectiles that the British and the German forces fired at each other were "duds", and most of them have not been recovered."
To this day, large quantities of Great War matériel are discovered on a regular basis. Many shells from the Great War were left buried in the mud, and often come to the surface during ploughing and land development.
For example, on the Somme battlefields in 2009 there were 1,025 interventions, unearthing over 6,000 pieces of ammunition weighing 44 tons.
Artillery shells may or may not still be live with explosive or gas, so the bomb disposal squad, of the Civilian Security of the Somme, dispose of them.
A huge mine under the German lines did not explode during the battle of Messines in 1917. The mine, containing several tons of ammonal and gun cotton, was triggered by lightning in 1955, creating an enormous crater.
The precise location of a second mine which also did not explode is unknown. Searches for it are not planned, as they would be too expensive and dangerous. For more on this, please search for "Cotehele Chapel"
The Somme Times
From 'The Somme Times', Monday, 31 July, 1916:
'There was a young girl of the Somme,
Who sat on a number five bomb,
She thought 'twas a dud 'un,
But it went off sudden -
Her exit she made with aplomb!'
Found this in my mailbox the day I arrived back in Los Angeles.
They contacted me from Austria last year and this the end product. I think they did a stellar job and it's quite the honor...
Co. D, 104th N. Y. Infantry
History of Neosho and Wilson Counties Kansas, Published by L. Wallace Duncan, Monitor Printing Co., 1902. Pages 296-297
CHARLES L. DUTCHER—The veterinary practice of the vicinity of St. Paul is ably cared for and represented by Charles L. Dutcher, of this article. He is one of the “old settlers” of St. Paul or “The Mission”, as it was called then, and his livery business is the chief of its kind in this little city.
Mr. Dutcher is an eastern man. He was born in Tioga county, New York, (December 25, 1839) as was his father, Tracey E. Dutcher. His mother was Margaret Shackelton, was a Tioga county lady. The father of our subject was a farmer, a carpenter and a local Methodist Episcopal preacher. He and his wife were the parents of four children, two of whom still survive. In 1845 the wife and mother died, while the father lived till 1875. The latter was married a second time and had a family of six children.
Charles L. Dutcher and his sister Mary J. Fraley, are the surviving children of their mother. Mrs. Fraley resides in Elmira, New York. Mr. Dutcher spent the years from his sixth year to his fifteenth in Bradford county, Pennsylvania. At the latter age he retuned to his native state and county. He was apprenticed about this time to a cabinet and wagon-maker and when he had served his time he worked at the trade till 1860 when he went to Owego, New York, and ran a line of hacks and an ice business till the war of the rebellion came on. He enlisted in July, 1863, in Company D, 104th New York volunteer infantry. He served two years and over and his chief engagement was that of Rappahannock Station, out of which he came without a scratch from a rebel ball. At the close of the war he was discharged, went to New York City, and there in April, 1866, was married. Hen went to work in the Fifth Avenue livery, driving coaches, and remained in that place two years. He changed his business then, going to Towanda, Pa., by request of his father, and there he engaged in the business of contracting and building. He followed this till 1870, when he came to the prairies of Kansas and took a claim in Crawford county. He lived on and was engaged in its improvement for three years, then traded it for a block of ground in Osage Mission, erected a store building and engaged in merchandising. This business he followed some fifteen years and sold his lots and buildings to the Lindel Hotel company and began handling horses, buying and shipping for three years. He then built a large livery barn and stocked it with the best turn-outs that he had, rigs that would compete successfully for business in any city. He opened his livery with a genuine glare that probably surpassed anything of the kind in Neosho county and he has since conducted it with a skill that natural inclination alone can insure. As a “housekeeper” he is strikingly neat and tidy. His premises appear to have just been dressed, at all business hours. Repairing is done when it is first noticed and there is no unkempt and shiftless atmosphere pervading his premises. He has practiced veterinary work for many years and his success teaches that he has a perfect understanding of the ills of horse flesh.
Mr. Dutcher’s wife was, before her marriage, Miss Elizabeth S. Hollenbeck, of Hudson, New York. One child, a son, was born to them. He is Charles Wesley Dutcher, of Sugar City, Colorado.
Mr. Dutcher is a meritorious citizen and a good man for his town. His business is well followed and because of this fact the interests of St. Paul are better conserved. He is liberal and possesses the sentiment of push and progress and when anything is needed for his town he helps to get it.

In 1819, Sir Walter Scott published a story called the Bride of Lammermuir. Like most of the stories Scott wrote, it was based on fact - and fact of course, is often stranger than fiction. The story upon which Scott based his story concerns the Rutherford family and Scott's mother was a Rutherford, which is likely where he heard the story. The (true) story goes as follows:
Janet Dalrymple (Lucy Ashton in Scott's novel), was the eldest daughter of James Dalrymple, 1st Viscount Stair, and his wife Margaret Ross of Balneil. As a young woman, Janet secretly pledged her troth to Archibald, third Lord Rutherfurd, cousin and heir of the Earl of Teviot. (Archibald was therefore the model for Edgar of Ravenswood in The Bride of Lammermuir.)
In keeping with the customs of the time, Janet's parents eventually arranged a marriage for her - the candidate being David Dunbar, heir of Sir David Dunbar of Baldoon Castle. Janet's mother, on finding out from her daughter about the earlier bethrothal, insisted on the match with Dunbar. Rutherfurd's politics were unacceptable to the Dalrymples, Lord Stair being a staunch Whig, while Rutherfurd was an ardent supporter of Charles II. And to make matters considerably worse, he had no money!
Archibald Rutherford wrote to Janet, but her mother (upon whom Scott based the haughty and manipulative Lady Ashton) intercepted the letter and wrote back saying that her daughter had seen her mistake and was intent on marrying David Dunbar.
The marriage went ahead on 24 August 1669, in the church of Old Luce, Wigtownshire. Her younger brother later recollected that Janet's hand was "as cold and damp as marble", and she remained impassive the whole day. Eventually the couple retired to their bedroom, shortly after which, screaming was heard coming from within. The door was forced open and the guests found Dunbar stabbed and bleeding and Janet, whose shift was bloody, cowering in the corner, saying only "take up thy bonny bridegroom." Janet died, apparently insane, on 12 September 1669, without divulging what had occurred. She was buried on 30 September, either at Newliston near Edinburgh, or at Old Luce.
David Dunbar recovered from his wounds, but similarly refused to explain the event. He remarried in 1674, to Lady Eleanor Montgomerie, daughter of the Earl of Eglinton, but died on 28 March 1682 after falling from his horse between Leith and Edinburgh.
Archibald Rutherfurd died in 1685, without children.
So nobody really knows what happened inside the bedroom. It was generally believed that Janet had stabbed her new husband, though other versions of the story suggest that Rutherfurd had hidden in the bedchamber in order to attack his rival, before escaping through the window. Naturally enough, the involvement of the devil or other malign spirits was also suggested - this is Scotland after all!
In consequence, Baldoon Castle is said to be haunted (although I would doubt the events would have happened here, as weddings don't usually take place at the groom's home, particularly when the bride's father is a viscount.)
The CredibilityLab at Mishal Pakistan launched the Media Credibility Index (MCI), an initiative started in January 2013 in collaboration with Pakistan Coalition for Ethical Journalism, leading research and academic institutions, and media practitioners. The launch ceremony was held in Islamabad where prominent media professionals, representatives of regulatory bodies, media development organizations and members of the civil society participated. The Index focuses on the relative credibility and believability of various media channels through which content is created.
Addressing the participants, Founder and Director, Ethical Journalism Network, Aidan White said that launch of the Media Credibility Index is a landmark moment for media accountability in Pakistan. In a country where people are overwhelmed by a torrent of information on all sides, and where corruption lurks in all areas of public life, the greatest challenge facing journalists and media professionals is to produce information that is reliable, useful and above all truthful.
The MCI provides fundamentals for analyzing media discourse in the country. By using benchmarks provided by professionals at national and international level, the MCI provides an opportunity to examine how the news analysis and commentary of high profile news anchors contribute to better understanding of complex issues in Pakistan’s robust landscape of journalism and politics, he further added.
Speaking at on the occasion, Dr. Nazir Saeed, Federal Secretary for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage said, “Television has an overwhelming impact on peoples’ decision-making power. The significance of the Media Credibility Index is in its use and ability to highlight content that can empower both the newsmakers and the information seekers; enabling them to create an effective knowledge ecosystem in the country. MCI has the potential of becoming the source for an informed decision making tool in public policy debate. MCI will promote ethical content practices in the country, information that tells stories not just about the powerful, but also about the powerless, and not just about the life of the decision makers, but also about issues concerning the masses”.
“I feel proud of the fact that the Media Credibility Index has been launched in Pakistan and can be a benchmark for other countries in the world for promoting, balanced, ethical and fair journalism practices”, said Dr. Nazir Saeed.
Center for International Media Ethics (CIME) Ambassador for Pakistan, Puruesh Chaudhary said that the index has been developed after an extensive examination of media laws, ethical principals drafted by different media groups, compliance regulations formulated by regulatory bodies and journalistic organizations. The MCI will explore the state of media in Pakistan against six indicators and 20 sub-indices. The results are currently being published on a weekly basis on the Media Credibility Index website as well.
Senior journalist and founder, Pakistan Coalition for Ethical Journalism, Muhammad Ziauddin said that Mishal has incorporated more than thirty code of conducts, principles of ethical journalism, which include currently prevalent seven national code of conducts and twenty four international code of ethics from international regulatory bodies, which have been agreed upon across the globe. He further said, that the codes of ethics framed by the Pakistani media groups have also being included within the index, these entail Jang group’s Geo Asool, Dunya’s code of ethics, Express group’s journalism code of conduct and Dawn Group’s principles and code of conduct.
After reviewing the principles of journalism and codes of ethics for journalists; six media credibility indicators with 20 sub-indices have been developed in order to assess the media discourse and credibility of current affairs anchors in Pakistan. This extensive study entails thirty-five current affairs programming of the mainstream Pakistani news channels. The Credibility of the anchors and content discourse is being assessed on; Professional Competence, Ethics, Accuracy, Balance, Timeliness and Fairness.
Chief Executive Officer, Mishal Pakistan, Amir Jahangir said the CredibilityLab, through its activities will further strengthen the Triple Helix concept, which relies on three main ideas: (1) a more prominent role for the University in creating new though and research processes, bringing them on par with the Industry and Government that form the basis of a Knowledge Society; (2) a movement toward collaborative relationships among the three major institutional spheres, in which information and knowledge policy is increasingly an outcome of interaction rather than a prescription from the Government; (3) in addition to fulfilling their traditional functions, each institutional sphere also “takes the role of the ‘other’ performing new roles as well as their traditional function.
The CredibilityLab at Mishal will be publishing its research on the state of media and competitiveness in Pakistan in collaboration with its partners. The MCI research has been one of the few initiatives in Pakistan, where research work has been collaborated with eleven academic partners in the country, including University of the Punjab, International Islamic University, Fatima Jinnah Women University, Lahore College for Women University, University of Gujrat, Government College University Faisalabad, Islamia University Bhawalpur, University of Balouchistan, Greenwich University and Bharia University.
Mishal Pakistan is the partner institute of the Global Competitiveness and Benchmarking Networks, World Economic Forum. Mishal assists the forum in creating the soft-data on Pakistan, identifying Pakistan’s competitiveness challenges. Mishal has also launched Pakistan’s first journalism awards “AGAHI Awards” on the framework designed jointly with the Center for International Media Ethics and UNESCO’s Media Development Indicators.
As a partner institute Mishal has been working closely with the World Economic Forum on measuring Pakistan’s performance on multiple international indices and reports i.e. Global Competitiveness Index, Global Gender Gap Index, Global Enabling Trade Index, Global Information Technology Report – Network Readiness Index, Financial Development Index and the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index.

This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 9th of November 1915.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images please comment below.
